Captain America and Thor in Marvel Movies


Wow. I have a big load of posts I want to do... so I guess this is where I'll begin.


As most of you Marvel fans know, Thor and Captain America have both appeared in movies. Captain America appeared in the 1991 Captain America Film played by Matt Salinger, with Scott Paulin co-starring as Red Skull. There was also a 1944 Captain America serial... but I won't get into that.
Thor (played by Eric Allan Kramer) appeared in the 1988 movie, The Incredible Hulk Returns, with Steve Levitt playing Donald Blake. The movie was to serve as a backdoor pilot for a now-unproduced Thor TV series. (DC's Mercy Reef didn't kick it off to well but at least they filmed a pilot)
Thor will be appearing in Iron Man 2, release date April 30, 2010. Whether he will appear after the credits or in the movie remains to be seen. The first single film, THOR, is released June 4 (some sources say July 4) 2010.
As for Captain America, the future looks bright for him. His shield was very briefly seen in Iron Man, since Tony Stark has built it and may give it to S.H.I.E.L.D., and Cap gets another movie, First Avenger: Captain America, which takes place during World War II.
The animated movie Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow will be released August 26, 2008 on DVD. It stars Iron Man, Hulk, and the children of the Avengers, such as the daughter of Thor, son of Captain America, and son of Black Panther. Whether Captain America or Thor will appear in the film remains to be seen, but an older Hulk and an older Tony Stark/Iron Man WILL appear in the film.
The Producer for Incredible Hulk has already stated that in a deleted scene, Banner goes to the Arctic to find a cure for the gamma radiation, and sees Captain America. He has said that we WILL see this scene on the DVD, and hinted at the fact that Captain America may also appear briefly in the opening credits for Incredible Hulk.... and with Tony Stark being in the movie, this still leaves a big question: What happens in the scene after the credits?
